Member of Technical Staff, Underwriting
Pylon, Palo Alto
The team
We're looking for Back End Engineers to join our Underwriting team. This is the team that takes human judgment out of mortgage origination — and replaces it with systems that are faster, more consistent, and more accurate than any human process could be.
Mortgage underwriting today is mostly manual. Experts read guidelines, interpret rules, cross-reference documents, and make decisions that determine whether someone gets a home. We're encoding all of that into software. Nobody has fully cracked this yet. The companies that figure it out will define the next generation of lending.
The stakes are real. An incorrectly modeled rule can cost the company tens of thousands of dollars on a single loan. A well-modeled system can help us outcompete everyone in the market.
Here is what you'll do
- Encode natural language rules into code. You'll work with DSLs and novel techniques — including AI — to translate dense regulatory guidelines into executable logic. Think of it as compiling English into a system that makes six-figure decisions.
